What is this component called?

Hi,

I'm developing a cross-platformed application and I'm currently working on the graphical interface on Mac. I've got FileDialogs, JOptionPanes and other subframes. How can I change the animation to something like the image below (Sample app: TextEdit)?

Also, I've seen a lot of apps having a "Help" JMenuBar. Is it possible to make this using the AppleJavaExtensions API? Last thing, is it possible to add more handlers to the "Application Bar", besides Preferences, About, and Quit handlers?
